Olaplex 4P purple shampoo

Maybe too late as I made my Amazon order earlier but...!

Has anyone used this? I had a disaster at the hairdressers a few weeks ago. They over-bleached it and my hair is pretty ruined.
They did a "hair Botox" last week so my hair looks a little better. They told me to use sulphate free shampoo following this. But my colour is already going a bit yellow-y so it needs a tone. I resisted the urge to use the purple shampoos I have. I did a search earlier and the Olaplex one came up so I've bitten the bullet and ordered it.
Any feedback / reviews?

I found it really drying for my hair. Redken and Kerastase versions both worked about the same but were less drying

I've only used Olaplex once - and thought it was overpriced and not very good. And I couldn't get the conditioner out of the bottle once I'd got about a third in.

Switched to Redken and I love it. My hair is so healthy now!

Im quite happy with the John Frieda violet crush intensive

I did buy the Fanola no yellow shampoo but haven't needed to use it yet as the JF worked better than expected

Sulfaye free shampoo I use are Garnier food ones

I use it and rate it highly. It isn’t too harsh for a toning shampoo and is very effective . I would consider not leaving it on for long the first time. Sometimes I dilute it half and half with the ordinary Olaplex shampoo.

A purple shampoo that is actually SLS free? That is like the holy grail I've been searching for the best part of a decade.

Edit: Holy shit that's not cheap.

Drying & smells grapefruity...

I really like it, and don't find it drying at all after conditioning. (Feels harsh when shampooing initially, but I find a lot of shampoos like this.)

Exactly! I had to Google "sulphate and paraben free purple shampoo" and that's what came up.
I watched quite a few YouTube videos last night where they tried it out and it looks pretty good.
I've looked up the other suggestions on this and they all seem to contain sulphates which is not what I need. I'm pretty limited in which purple shampoos I can get.

(But yep it's not cheap, sadly!)

I have a bottle but I'm too scared to use it !
Does it definitely wash out?

I got it with a code from the Olaplex website much cheaper than Amazon if that helps ?
I didn't want to risk a fake
